⏰ Tell the time ⏰

Last year, you should have learned how to tell the time to quarter of an hour at least, as this photo shows:

Check you can do this at least, then revise telling it to 5 minutes, e.g. 6:20 or 1:55.

This half term, we will be reading it to the nearest minute, e.g. 4:21 or 12:03.

Today, we also discussed a.m (ante meridian ~ before midday or before noon) and p.m. (post meridian ~ after midday or after noon). Is 12:00 midnight a.m. or p.m…?

History Detectives at Aston Hall

On Friday 1st April, we visited the historic Aston Hall. We had a fantastic guide called Katie who helped us learn while we explored this beautiful local building. We became history detectives, discovering different kinds of rooms and looking at objects/artefacts from the past to work out what they were for. Take a look at the photos. Try to name the rooms and what you saw and learnt in each one.

The Human Sundial Shadow Science Experiment

We have been learning how shadows are created when light is blocked.

Shadows form on the opposite side to a light source because light travels in straight lines. 

As it has been a clear, sunny day, we have been tracing the shadow of one person in the same place at four different points throughout the day. Here are some photos and also a table. 

What has happened to the length of the shadow throughout the day?

Try to explain why the shadow changed using the information at the start of this Blog post.
